I've Turned Into A Fox Girl?

Shaman was confused but instantly became vigilant as a horde of skeletons began rushing into the room.

The room looked like an ancient ruin and they were in some sort of side room that had a memorial of a person in it. There was a lot of overgrowth in the cracks of the bricks and many holes showing that this place is not kept in good condition. The room was also rather large with one exit with no windows making it only being lit by the torches on the walls.

Elysia could be seen shooting rows of fire arrows eliminating a lot of the skeletons while wolfy picked off the remaining ones that were not hit with [Shadow claw].

Shaman pulled out her sword and made the affinity with fire and stood next to Elysia.

"Tell me, what's going on and for how long have you been doing this?" Shaman wanted to know how long she had been out for and what the current situation is.

"Well it's been at least an hour and these skeletons have not stopped coming through that door and if you don't destroy enough of the bones they just remake themselves like it was nothing!" Elysia shot some more arrows destroying more skeletons with Wolfy finishing the stragglers off.

"Ok well now that I am awake let's get the hell out of this room." Shaman knew that Elysia had been protecting them for the last hour so they must be getting exhausted.

"Sounds great." Elysia felt relieved as now some of the load has been taken off her since Shaman has joined the battle.

Shaman used [inspect] on the skeletons to see what they had been dealing with.

[Skeleton puppet]

[Level 1]

[Tier 1]

[A disposable skeleton that is controlled by a puppet master]

'That makes sense why Elysia and Wolfy are not dead tired as these guys are just cannon fodder and require little energy to get rid of but if we need to get out of here we most likely need to deal with this puppet master first.' Shaman was a little worried as the puppet master could be anywhere and did not know if they had to be in a certain range.

"As much as I want to clarify what seems to be a dungeon I would say our top priority is to get out of this place entirely." Shaman decided it would be best to leave as they had only just entered tier 4 and would not be ready to take on the boss till they were at least tier 5.

"True, we are not quite ready for the final boss." Elysia thought it was a logical assumption since the boss was most likely a tier 5 leader or even a tier 6 so it would be best to over-prepare then walk into a death trap.

'Goddammit, why did Himeko dump us in the dungeon?' Shaman remembered that they were just training with Himeko and since they all passed out Himeko had placed them randomly in the dungeon.

Without saying much Shaman dashed towards the door where skeletons were still funnelling out. Shaman did not use any skills since the level of the skeletons was so low Shaman could flick them and they could fall apart.

Shaman slashed with Kotetsu, instantly destroying many bones and clearing them out of the way. Elysia and Wolfy quickly dashed towards the door and followed Shaman through it.

There were still hordes but Shaman was able to keep swinging like she was getting rid of bushes in a jungle.

After running through a narrow hallway they finally were able to enter a hall with a lot of open space.

There were many support beams going 6 meters up around with many different entrances around the walls, what caught Shaman's eyes was that there was a figure in the middle slumped over not moving.

She quickly used inspect to find out what it was as it could be the puppet master.

[Skeleton soldier]

[level ??]

[tier 5]

[A powerful skeleton soldier used by the puppet master]

"Careful Elysia, this one is powerful but sadly not the one controlling the skeletons." Shaman showed Elysia the inspect screen and got ready for battle. The skeletons from the hallway seemed to have also stopped and were not following them.

'That's odd, why could that be?' Shaman was a little worried as to why the sudden absence but she had no time to think about that as the quicker they defeated the soldier the quicker they could leave.

The soldier began to twitch and slowly rise from the ground, bones from around the place began to float towards him and soon created a 2.5-meter tall skeleton in armour and a massive great sword. The greatsword looked rather simple but in pristine condition, just like the armour, it was wearing. The armour looked like a typical medieval set and was kept in perfect condition. A purple mist could be seen flowing through the insides of the skeleton.

Shaman got ready as the skeleton seemed to be getting ready to attack straight away. Elysia moved to the side to get as far as possible while Wolfy stayed close to Shaman.

'Well this will be our first time properly fighting together.' Shaman was excited as Wolfy was now able to communicate and they could coordinate attacks now without having to worry about each due to not being able to communicate.

'Let's hope we can make this a clean kill.' Wolfy's tail was wagging as this was his first real battle and could not wait.

The skeleton soldier finally finished reconstructing and instantly began to move towards Shaman and Wolfy. It dragged the great sword along the floor, destroying it slightly.

Once it had gotten close it had swung a lot faster than Shaman and Wolfy expected. The sword was going at a speed that they could almost not keep up with but luckily Elysia managed to shoot an arrow directly hitting the blade mid-swing redirecting it, allowing Shaman to safely move out of the way.

'Let's stay on the move and not let it attack first.' Shaman regretted not moving out of the way straight away since it almost got her killed.

'I love to gather information about the enemy but it seems like I pushed my limits.' Shaman loved getting as much information as possible so that she could make a plan around it.

'Mother, I will hide in the shadows since this place is indoors and I can pretty much go anywhere, let me know when I should attack and I will try to disable it.' Wolfy realized that since they are indoors this allowed for free-ranged movement around the entire place.

Shaman nodded as they continued to run with Wolfy slowly going into the ground with his shadows. The skeleton had pulled his greatsword out of the ground and instantly turned to the running Shaman.

Shaman slid on the floor and faced the skeleton who began to charge once again.

"Let's dance." Shaman had a grin as the adrenaline of battle filled her veins and was ready to fight.

Instead of the normal swing, the skeleton had done a wide swing coming in from Shaman's left, it was not as fast as the previous attack and Shaman was able to easily leap over it but to her surprise, the blade halted right under Shaman's feet.

Shaman was worried as the blade began to turn. Shaman quickly used her wind to move out of the way and as she did the blade came flying up.

'This damn skeleton has some insane speed.' Shaman could not believe the speed of the skeleton as it has been twice now that the attack has been barely visible.

The skeleton's sword this time did not get stuck and once again looked onto Shaman but before he could move an [Explosive arrow] hit the side of its head causing it to tumble to the side. This allowed Shaman to get some distance between her.

'This skeleton surely has some other attacks.' Shaman wanted to attack but again was stopped by her nature of wanting to find out more about her opponent before making a move.

'Let's try to force it to do something.' Shaman decided to go on the offensive and used the opportunity to send out a wind slash from her sword towards the skeleton.

She had also told Wolfy to aim for its ankles once the slash had landed. The skeleton saw the slash and blocked it with his greatsword, it used both its hands and pushed on the blade keeping it bay.

Wolfy on the other hand came out from the floor and with a shadow blade slashed at the ankles of the Skeleton. This caused the skeleton to kneel but not falter in its defence however something strange was happening.

Wolfy could tell and instantly went back into the shadows which was a smart move as the mist inside the skeleton began to move violently

It continued to ravage around the skeleton's body till eventually it began to spew out of the body and started to form something.

"What the hell is it doing?"
